Chessable Masters: Anish finishes top of Group B; Radjabov, Vachier-Lagrave eliminated

Hello and welcome to Sportstar's coverage of Chessable Masters, the third event of the million-dollar Magnus Carlsen Chess tour.

World Champion Magnus Carlsen and 11 more of the world's best chess players are competing in the Chessable Masters, the third event in the $1million Magnus Carlsen Chess Tour.

 

Pentala Harikrishna   crashed out of the $150,000 Chessable Masters following a final-round defeat to Alexander Grischuk on Monday.

Harikrishna scored three points from 10 round-robin rounds and finished last in the six-player Group A. Russia’s Daniil Dubov, winner of the second leg - the Lindores Abbey Rapid Challenge -  joined Harikrishna on the sidelines after successive defeats to Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura.

Harikrishna, who started the day with a loss against overnight leader Vladislav Artemiev, held Magnus Carlsen, Dubov and Nakamura before losing to Grischuk.

The final-round victories for Nakamura and Grischuk helped them join Carlsen and Vladislav Artemiev in the quarterfinals. Nakamura and Grischuk pipped Dubov on tiebreak-count after the trio tied at five points.
